I was wondering if it is possible to load multiple forms into one subform? For example: I have form [SO2Menu] and form [Critical]. Can I have one subform in a main form that by the click of a button ill load either menu depending on the users selection?
View RepliesThere are 2 issues I am trying to figure out for an Access2007 form:
1) I should first state that I am working off of 3 tables:
a) Marketers
b) Companies that belong to those marketers
c) Points of Contacts (POC) for each Company
2) In my frmMain, I have 2 combo boxes. The first loads the second and the second loads a CompanyID text field (IDc) that the subform bases for which record info to pull. How do I get the CompanyID (and subform) fields to load blank upon form open and until the 2nd combo box selection is made?
3) A company that doesn't have any POCs entered yet won't load its CompanyID even though it DOES have an ID number. Well the Id not being changed doesn't change the POC info either. I am guessing it's because there is no info to fill in the subform yet. However, I need to be able to still pull up the blank fields so I can ADD a POC.
I am having an issue trying to show all records when I load my form. It loads correctly when I don't have a record source for the main form. However, the combobox filters will not work. My goal is to have users be able to use the datasheet, subdatasheet and combobox filters. I can get the form to work just fine when I link the Main form and subform, but when the form opens it is filtered on the first record. I have been successful with this approach when using other forms, but they didn't require a subdatasheet.
Is there anyway I can have the comboboxes to filter yet be able to show all records until the user selects filters? Is this possible?I finally got my Manager to agree to use a database instead of Excel files based on this form setup and I need to make as "user friendly" as possible (look and function like a spreadsheet) I attached some pics of the form along with the code for the filter.
I have got a received form that has 2 subforms.
The main form is based on Received Table
The 1st subform is based on a query that shows the order detail and how many units are outstanding.
The 2nd subform is based on a receivedDetail table. so will have a list of items with the original order qty, and the qty still outstanding.
When the main form loads i want it to create new records into the 2nd subform based on the 1st Subform.
so the 1st and 2nd subform run parallel with each other and appear to be as one to the user.
both subforms are continuous style.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
With Me.Form.RecordsetClone
Do While Not .EOF
.AddNew
!UserFK = Forms!frmReceive!cbxUsername
[Code] ....
Hello all,
I have created a FE/BE database which is operating on a network. There is one FE for each person (approx 150) all accessing 1 BE. There are at most, maybe 10 people using it at once. The database has been working well for about 2 months.
My problem is not with data corruption (touch-wood!), but with a complex form.
The Form is split into a Header/Footer, with a Detail section containing a subform. The main form filters records that appear on the subform. The subform is continous, with several conditional formatting cells per record.
Most of the time it works fine, but occasionally, the main form opens, but the subform fails to load/open. All I see is a white page with the main form header displaying correctly along the top 1/3rd of the screen. No error message is displayed. If I print the page using a Report (The subform and Report use the same query) the page prints perfectly with all records showing.
I have seen this problem on several different workstations, only to try again later to see it working (having closed the db, logging off then back on again)
I am at a loss with this one. Is it a problem with Access or the network? I am unable to find anything similar to this problem on the forum. Can anyone shed any light on it?
The problem I am facing is applying an IF statement to every record in the detail section of the subform.
I have the following code:
Code:
If Me.status = "CONFIRMED" Then
Me.course_ref.Enabled = False
Me.course_date.Enabled = False
Me.cmbModule1.Enabled = False
Me.cmbModule2.Enabled = False
Me.course_start_time.Enabled = False
Me.course_end_time.Enabled = False
Me.course_training_cost.Enabled = False
End If
This is in the on load event of the subform and works 'sort of'
Basically I have a record with the status of confirmed and records without this status, but the result of the if statement is being applied to all records. Is this because I need some sort of loop? and if so how would I loop through all records in the detail and apply this if statement to them all?
Hi!,
I am trying to make something to make my job easier. To be honest I am a beginer in this field. I am having a field, when I enter one value ( let that be 10) it should pop up one form and if another value ( let that value be 20) it should pop up another form.
or else I can explain in this way
If data field value = 10 then it should run macro 1
& if data field value = 20 then it should run macro 2
thanks

I have built a database which has a number of forms with a frm_PartNo subform in.When ever I click a button to load one of these forms I get the following error message: ECN Database v1.31 cannot find the referenced form 'frm_PartNo'. But when the form loads the sub form is there with all the related data !
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using a barcode scanner to enter ID numbers into a combo box on a form.. I've got it to do this much - scan the barcode, and then the form loads the relevant record. Great - now I want, that when a barcode is scanned, it makes the next field the 'live' field (the one with the cursor in it).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm a newbie using Access 2007.I am trying to make things as easy as possible for the user of a database that I have been working on. The users maximum screen resolution is 1600 x 900 and I want to have specific forms automatically "maximise" to fit the screen.I have set the Form property "Fit to Screen=Yes" but it does not do what I am expecting and want.I also have "Auto Resize=Yes"
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem filtering a form on load.What I am trying to say is if the role = Agent then filter on todays completed records and records that have a completed date of Null for the particular agent.
Here is the code:
If Me.txtRole = "Agent" Then
AgentFilter = "(CASEOWNER ='" & Me.txtName & "')"
DateCompletedFilter = "((DATECOMPLETED = #" & Date & "#)OR (DATECOMPLETED Is Null))"
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , AgentFilter & " And " & DateCompletedFilter
Exit Sub
End If
The filter on the agents works and the filter on the completed date of null apeears to work however when a record is completed it diappears on refreshing of the form even though the record has been completed on todays date.I have investigated the code an the issue appears to be with the DATECOMPLETED = #" & Date & "# part of the code.
I'm trying to open a specific set of records when the form is first opened (namely the most recent date that was added). I'm trying something along these lines and am simply unable to get it to work:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim strQry As String
strQry = DMax("TranDte", "Transaction")
DoCmd.OpenForm "FrmSalesInp", acNormal, "", "[Transaction]![TranDte]="
& strQry, , acNormal
End Sub

I need to execute some VBA to load a new form in my navigation view, not a popup form.
If use DoCmd.OpenForm "DB History" it opens the form as a new form.
DoCmd.BrowseTo acBrowseToForm, "DB History" set the focus on the DB History navigation button but doesn't open it.
So I think I need to add the path.
'DoCmd.BrowseTo ObjectType:=acBrowseToForm, ObjectName:="DB History", 'PathToSubformControl:="??"
This is where I am stuck.
My main form is Navigation Form1
The sub ins NavigationSubForm
and the form loaded is Form1 which I would like to replace with DB History
Is there a way to add default text on a form when it loads via vba?
I have a form (frm_add_targets), which has 15 fields on it and I would like to add default text to these fields if the field should be null.
For example: one of my form fields is called: w_text1 and I would like to default the value of this field to the following: Significant amount of revenue at risk 1)<50k,2)up to .5mil,3)up to 3mil,4)up to 5 mil,5)>5 mil should it be empty on load,
I am trying to create a multi-user web-based database where all users log-in and see different forms based on a field in the user table.
I am trying to use a DLookup to return the name of the Form I want open based on the command box that shows the userID and UserName
DoCmd.OpenForm , acNormal, DLookup("field", "table", "[UserID]=" & Me.cboName.Value)
cboName row source
SELECT [table].[UserID], [table].[UserName] FROM table ORDER BY [UserID]
I have a form which is for searching for and then viewing a record based on a text box and pressing enter. This is working fine. My ID field is 4 digits and when I change the 4 digits and press enter it shows me the details for the record in all of the other boxes:
Private Sub txtJobID_AfterUpdate()
If (txtJobID & vbNullString) = vbNullString Then Exit Sub
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
[code] ....
My question is, as this is not a data entry / additions / deletions form (I have editing and filters to yes though) How do I get it to load empty? Not on a new or blank record but empty until I have typed my 4 digits. Just to clarify, my txtJobID box is empty on load but all of the other fields show the first record.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a bound form to an invoices table. The form details all invoices raised, all payments made and an outstanding balance. The outstanding balance control is just a basic text box.
On form load, I go to the payment table and select all payments into a recordset, I then add up all payments and use the following calculation:-
Balance = InvTotal - paytotal
The Invtotal is the control on the form that has it's control source set as sum(invoicetotal)
The calculation used to work and the correct balance was displayed, indeed, for one particular client, the calculation works, but for all others, the summed value is blank and so the balance is effectively set to the paytotal value.
I know this is to do with the timing as the form loads and it's records/data are made available, as I have an update button that does exactly the same things as the form load and when pressed, all numbers work.....primarily because the summed invoicetotal value is now available in the form control.
I can see what is happening, but not sure why...I thought that form load gave you all records and would have populated the summed control before triggering the load event....obviously not.....
I have designed a form using the wizard from a table which records transactions for an entity.
I have a Primary Key (auto number), entity id, transaction amount, description and date fields in the table.
I look up the entity using a list box, then populate unbound fields then use CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO in order to save the new record.
When I open the form for use, it automatically changes the entity id of a previously added record to the most recently selected entry in the list box. I am unsure why it does this. It seems to be editing previous records when you change the value of the list box.
I've got a DB, which has 3 forms ( all 'under' 3 navigation buttons/tabs ). The main form ( Client's form ) is set to show first, and currently has a recordsource of about 1350 records. I think the size of the recordsource, and the fact it 'loads' the other two forms all 'in one go', is slowing it down ( between 5 and 10 secs. to load ).
I read I should set the Visible properties of forms, not shown immediately, to false, only setting them to True in the On_Load event - when Tab is selected. Ideal I thought. However, I can't find this property in the Form's property sheet.
I have created a form with a list view (active-x) to be able to control colors, etc in a list.
When I open my form, it is already information (three rows) in the list view. This despite the fact that I have shut down the access application and even shifted the database to another computer.
I can of course delete the elements with ListItems.Clear when I open the form, but I'd rather like that they did not show up at all.
Where these "default-elements" are stored, so I can remove them from the list view once and for all?
I have a form design where to enter a new "system" (what we call a new group of members) you have to specify the representative (the member that will represent the system).
If the system is new AND the representative is new, then both need to be entered. Typically this will be done through the "New System" form that has a combo box for you to choose the representative (but the representative won't be there!). If the representative is new as well, then the user clicks "Add New Rep" which is located next to the combo box.
This is where things get tricky, I'd like to use only 1 form to load a new rep. My idea was to use an openarg on the docmd.openform method that specifies what the control should be.
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "RepresentativeAddNew_Form", , , , , , "System_ID|" & Me.System_ID
That is the code that is called when the user click "Add new rep" and in the on load event I have this code:
Code:
'Use this version if the ID is text
Dim x As Variant
Dim strControl As String
Dim strID As Long
'If parameters exist, use them
[Code] ....
My goal was to pass the value to the combobox and turn it off, that way they can't change anything about it. This was nice because if the openargs is null (there were none passed) then the combo box would be enabled and the user could select the school that way.
But this doesn't work, for some reason, the combo box has NOTHING done to it (I have the control name correct).
Is this due to the way comboboxes work? Or am I missing something?
I should point out that the on-load event was not my idea, I found that online but makes perfect sense. I was trying something similar but was trying to use global variables because I wasn't aware that OpenArgs was a valid control!
I have a form that I populate after making selections in two combo boxes but when I load the form the text boxes are already filled in with the first record. The combo boxes load blank, which is what I want.
How do I get the rest of the form to be blank on load? It is made up of text boxes and check boxes that are all bound. Will this only work if they are unbound?
I have a form which I want to load before it starts up a vba function. How can I do that? Right now I use form_load(), but the problem is that, it loads the msgbox before loading form.
Code:
rivate Sub Form_Load()
Dim sFolderSpec As String, sCSVSource As String, dFileDate As Date
sCSVSource = "MDM_Syndicator.csv"
[Code]....
I'm experimenting with unbound object frames to embed an excel sheet in Access.If I have an excel application already open and busy, and then open my form, access freeze completely and won't do anything. My users will probably be running excel vba programs when they attempt to view this form, if there is no work around I'll have to drop the idea of embedding excel in access.
whenever an "external" thing wants to use excel (opening a file in explorer, etc), it uses the very 1st excel application open on the computer at this moment, instead of creating its own instance, or at least scanning for how busy the open application is. Because of that, I think that even loading the preview in the access form will try to use the current excel process even though it's completely busy.
